I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life - Chapter 165 - 69: The Victor Remains Uncertain

Chapter 165: Chapter 69: The Victor Remains Uncertain

Still, Bai Yi was obedient.

Having absorbed the Four Nether Demon Flame, Bai Yi had completed the four portions of True Flame. Each identical small flame took charge of a piece of Tier Two precious material, greatly improving the efficiency of puppet creation.

Li Jizhou was very pleased with Bai Yi.

In half a year, the materials for three Tier Two advanced puppets had been prepared, just waiting to integrate special innate trait demon cores.

Thinking of demon cores, Li Jizhou pondered for a moment, feeling a ripple in his heart, then came up with an idea.

He immediately began refining a Magical Artifact, combining it with a Memory Talisman to create a special Magical Artifact capable of recording the scenery along the way.

The Magical Artifact was shaped like a hat and could slightly protect the head as well.

When the Magical Artifact was completed, Li Jizhou called Gua Gua back.

Regarding the new Magical Artifact Li Jizhou crafted for it, Gua Gua was reluctant to part with it and put it on immediately.

Watching Gua Gua with the Magical Artifact dive into the sea again, Li Jizhou smiled faintly.

After advancing to a Tier Three Great Demon, Li Jizhou could no longer share perspectives with Gua Gua at will; he needed its consent.

During this year, every time Li Jizhou had Gua Gua share perspectives, he always saw Gua Gua energetically and fiercely chasing various Late Stage Tier Two demon beasts, intending to kill the demon and fetch the core.

However, it always ended in failure.

This time, Li Jizhou wanted to see clearly why a Tier Three Great Demon couldn’t catch a Late Stage Tier Two demon beast.

As Gua Gua dove deep into the seabed, scene upon scene was timely transmitted to Li Jizhou’s mind…

After observing for three consecutive days, Li Jizhou snorted, shaking his head with a laugh.

“This guy…”

It turned out that Gua Gua, the Tier Three Great Demon, was active only in the Tier Two Sea Domain and had long become the Frog King of all Tier Two demon beasts in that area!

Seeing Gua Gua surrounded by hundreds of Tier Two demon beasts, Li Jizhou understood why it hadn’t brought him a demon core.

In response to this, Li Jizhou was a bit speechless.

He immediately called it back and exposed it face-to-face, issuing an ultimatum that it must bring back two demon cores with special traits within ten days!

This startled Gua Gua, raising its evaluation of Li Jizhou’s methods once again.

With the intelligence of a ten-year-old child, it couldn’t comprehend why its Divine Sense was stronger than its master’s, yet its every move was still within its master’s view?

It dared not entertain any more thoughts immediately.

This time, Li Jizhou saw Gua Gua leading hundreds of Tier Two demon beasts to the edge of the Tier Three area.

It had the other demon beasts lurk, sending a speedy demon beast to lure.

Seven days later, Gua Gua returned with some minor injuries, bringing Li Jizhou two demon pills.

Moreover, they were demon pills from two Early Stage Tier Three demon beasts.

Li Jizhou felt gratified while setting a new goal.

The Tier Two advanced puppets he originally crafted could unleash power comparable to a Fake Pill by installing Middle Grade Spirit Stones.

Integrating special demon cores would further enhance their potential.

However… Tier Two puppet craftsmanship was still limited to integrating demon cores.

Using demon pills required a Tier Three Puppet Master.

Luckily, Li Jizhou had just advanced to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, and his Divine Sense has nearly reached Fake Pill Master level, allowing him to attempt advancing as a Tier Three Puppet Master.

For the next year, apart from daily practice, most of his time was spent studying Tier Three puppet techniques.

The main focus was on integrating demon pills.

During this period, Jiang Li finally completed the awakening of the Ren Water Spirit Body, fully stepping into the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

After awakening the Ren Water Spirit Body, her cultivation would experience a qualitative leap.

According to an ancient book Li Jizhou had read, it might give rise to some sort of Abnormal Spirit Body Innate Divine Abilities!

Now, the conflict among the Five Elders Association in the Sea Domain had transitioned from the initial conquest of rebellious ministers and traitors to a situation of seven heroic contenders.

The seven subordinate islands all rose in revolt, denouncing the Han family’s various crimes over the centuries.

An Early Stage True Core Master can obliterate a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator within seconds; even a hundred Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn’t restrain a True Core Master.

However, the Seven Islands gathered an army of more than 50,000 Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators for the crusade, with Pearl Jade Island having three Fake Pill Level Tier Three Great Demons, and each Island Lord revealed many trump cards.

This made it hard for the main island’s Han family to resist.

During the early stages of the conflict, the Five Elders Association’s masters secretly attempted to assassinate Jiang Li, aiming to capture the king first to seize the thieves.

However, Jiang Li was well-prepared, with 5,000 Foundation Establishment guards remaining with her 24/7, causing their efforts to fail.

There’s even a rumor that Jiang Li donned an ancient Top-Grade Magical Artifact battle robe that deflected a master’s deadly attack.

“In a maximum of five years, true unification will come!” Li Jizhou made this judgment.

Fortunately, due to Jiang Li’s prior arrangements, the flames of war hadn’t truly spread to the islands from the start, with major battles being completed in the Sea Domain.

This made Li Jizhou regard Jiang Li even more highly.

In this cultivation world, the largest difference between Sea Domain and inland areas is that almost all resources from the Sea Domain come from the ocean. Island unification won’t lead to greater resource exploitation and oppression but may even help united endeavors utilize ocean resources more fully.

In contrast, inland unification often results in greater oppression and exploitation due to scarce cultivation resources.

Ultimately, it’s the shortage of resources causing this.

In one year, Li Jizhou thoroughly comprehended the techniques regarding integrating demon pills in Tier Three puppet craftsmanship.

However, the concern remained whether a Tier Two puppet could withstand the demonic power of a Tier Three demon pill.

As for crafting Tier Three puppets, Li Jizhou’s Divine Soul strength was still insufficient, and Tier Three materials weren’t easy to find.

“Ultimately, I have to give it a try!”
